— David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) July 1, 2024 de Haan is a solid defender who stays at home and can work well in the depth of the defense, helping out on the penalty kill. He likely will not contribute much on offense but does have a rocket of a shot when he uses it. In his one year with the Tampa Bay Lightning last year, he had 82 blocked shots and 96 hits.
